Las Vegas Golden Knights Could Be Best NHL Expansion Team Ever After Draft Haul

By Anthony Blake

In addition to the solid roster they put together during the NHL expansion draft, the Las Vegas Golden Knights also acquired two additional first-round picks via trade to give them three selections out of the top 15 choices.

This will provide quite a youth complement to this solid cast of veterans they managed to assemble from each NHL franchise.

With Marc-Andre Fleury as the face of the franchise in goal and some snipers on the wings like James Neal and Reilly Smith, this team may not be as terrible as expansion squads from the past.

A couple of hits in the draft will have this franchise building a solid nucleus for future success in the NHL.
